 Step 3: Add Tooltips to Menu Items
 1. Use set Tool Tip Text() to add tooltips to each J menu
Item.
 Step 4: Add Menu Items to Menu

public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create JFrame
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Main Menu Example");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
// Create menu bar
JMenuBar menuBar = new JMenuBar();

ImageIcon("open.png"));
openItem.setToolTipText("Open a file");
JMenuItem saveItem = new JMenuItem("Save", new ImageIcon("save.png"));
saveItem.setToolTipText("Save a file");
JMenuItem exitItem = new JMenuItem("Exit", new ImageIcon("exit.png"));

menu.add(saveItem);
menu.addSeparator();
menu.add(exitItem);
// Add menu items to menu
